Superman is riding his bicycle. At the base of a hill, he has a specific amount of kinetic energy. Then he coasts up the hill wi

thout pedaling. He comes to a stop at the top of the hill. Why is Superman’s potential energy at the top of the hill less than his kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill?
A. The hill did work on the bicycle as he went up the hill.
B. The rest of the energy is stored in the muscles of his body.
C. He still has kinetic energy while stopped on the top of the hill.
D. Friction and air resistance created heat on his trip up the hill.

Answer:

D. Friction and air resistance created heat on his trip up the hill.

Explanation:

Energy transformation from one form to another is not 100% efficient. This is the postulate of the first law of thermodynamics.

Most of the energy transformation is not purely 100%.

When energy is transformed, some are usually wasted.

  • In this case, in moving from bottom up, Superman produced some heat and encountered air resistance.
  • To reach the top, he must have overcome the resistance and produce enough heat to power him through.
  • This reduces the amount of potential energy that should have been the same as the kinetic energy down below.

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they are more durable than a refracting telescopes.
There is a difference between these two types of telescopes, reflecting telescopes worked by reflecting light, they are also known as reflector and refracting telescopes worked by refracting light and they are also known as reflactor.
Reflecting telescopes also provides a good focus.

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t
Leya [2.2K]
In that case, their momentum must be equal. 
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

A 350-g mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 64 N/m. Its maximum acceleration is 5.3 m/s2. What is the frequenc
max2010maxim [7]

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

What is the frequency of spring?

Spring Frequency is the natural frequency of spring with a weight at the lower end. Spring is fixed from the upper end and the lower end is free.

For the mass-spring system in this problem,

The Frequency of spring is calculated with the equation:

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Where,

f = frequency of spring

k = spring constant = 64 N/m

m = mass attached to spring = 350g = 0.350 kg

a = maximum acceleration = 5.3 m/s^2

Substituting the values in the equation,

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{64}{0.350} }

f = \frac{1}{2\pi } ( 13.522)

f = 2.1535 Hz

Hence,

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

Answer:

maybe its heat sorry if it's wrong

because if friction is not in the problem so we are making heat or thermal energy
